I never really thought anyone on this team would get drafted but maybe LJ Fort has a shot.

Buying his mother a house? That's just embarrassing- he obviously needs to buy a stack of folding chairs to have ready the next time we play Montana. Really....

Re: Is there a chance we see anyone get drafted this year?
I believe that L.J. will get a shot, I am not sure he will get drafted, but it would be nice to see.
I could see a few other seniors getting a chance as a Free Agent.Comment

If Pat Angerer can find a home in the NFL, so can LJ Fort. LJ had a serious knack for forcing fumbles. Plenty of scouts are bound to notice that.Comment

LJ Fort can play in the NFL. If someone gives him a shot, he will make it.UNI FIGHT

A good doctor practicing in a specialized area will make considerably more during their lifetime than the average NFL player.Originally posted by TH1974Comment

My post was pretty ambiguous but I was essentially saying it's a win-win situation although you are right, being an MD will likely net him more cash and considerably less bodily injuryOriginally posted by Kyle View PostComment

Re: Is there a chance we see anyone get drafted this year?
Boothby has zero chance to play in the League, my god, what a great kid. I want to find out where he will be practicing medicine and take my entire family to him...
The only problem is that he could be the greatest defensive lineman in the history of FCS football, due to his height there is no way he ever gets a shot. I would highly doubt he even gets a free agent invite. That being said, he is probably smart enough to realize this anyway. Would be a great experience for him though should the opportunity arise to get into a camp even til first cuts. Hope he thinks about it.
Fort has a legit shot, he fits the mold of the "special teamer" that can hang around the league long enough to have a career before he is replaced in 3 - 4 years by a younger, cheaper LJ Fort. He won't be drafted because he doesn't have the tangibles. He isn't fast enough for SS, he isn't big enough for LB. Comparing him to Angerer is tough, you might try comparing him to a Boomer Grigsby from Illinois State 7-8 years ago, much more similarities, the thing we have to remember is the up hill climb these players have out of UNI because they aren't from a Power 6.
There have been dozens of players over the last 10-15 years that could have been impact players in the League had the name on the front of their Jersey said Cyclones in college. Thats not a knock, just fact.Illinois State Fan at a St. Louis White Castle 3:45AM Saturday March 6th:

One thing that Fort has going for him is that he has good fundamental tackling ability. It is surprising how lacking that is a skill.
As for Ben, he would have been a great fit for the NFL Europe scene. A player that doesn't have the measureables, but still finds a way to produce. A year or two of seeing him play on a bigger stage would have helped him, if he wanted to pursue that route.
Boothby and Josh Mahoney need setup shop next door to one another.Comment
